Chapter 76: Condensing Blood into Needles, Suppression!
Lin Mo looked at Ye Lingling's somewhat helpless expression and let out a soft sigh.
Then he handed the oil paper umbrella to her. "Sister Lingling, take the umbrella. Help me support her."
His voice was very calm.
"Let me try."
Ye Lingling was clearly startled, her purple eyes full of doubt.
She did not quite understand what Lin Mo wanted to do, but out of the trust built over a long period of time, she still took the umbrella and supported Dugu Yan with both hands.
Lin Mo looked at Dugu Yan's pained expression and silently shook his head, inwardly sighing.
He only hoped that Poison Douluo Dugu Bo would not make the risk he was about to take meaningless.
He took a deep breath and slowly raised his right index finger.
In the next moment, a faint red glow flowed beneath the skin of his fingertip. Dense qi and blood quickly gathered there, finally condensing into a blood needle as thin as a strand of hair.
The blood needle looked somewhat illusory, yet it remained condensed without dispersing.
Immediately afterward, the blood needle formed from qi and blood swiftly pierced several points on Dugu Yan's arm and neck.
Lin Mo moved quickly and precisely. One blood needle after another condensed at his fingertips, then accurately pierced into key acupoints across Dugu Yan's body.
At the side, Ye Lingling watched in a daze, her eyes widening slightly.
This was the first time she had seen Lin Mo use such a method.
In her impression over the past year or so, Lin Mo's study of medicine under her grandfather had mostly consisted of identifying medicinal ingredients, memorizing prescriptions, and carefully understanding the structure of the human body.
At most, he only gave occasional help in the Medical Hall when treating patients with simpler conditions.
Ye Linyuan had indeed taught Lin Mo the core medical methods he had developed throughout his life, and Lin Mo had learned quickly, mastering around 70 to 80 percent of them.
But Lin Mo was still young. He had not had many chances to treat patients independently, so his skills still seemed somewhat raw and lacked real experience.
Seeing this unfamiliar technique now, Ye Lingling suddenly felt that this younger boy, who was several years younger than her, had been covered in a layer of mist from the very beginning. And now, he was becoming more and more mysterious.
After using the blood needles as a medium to sense Dugu Yan's condition through qi and blood, Lin Mo could not help frowning.
Dugu Yan's current condition was very bad.
This poison had been with her since birth. It had long become inseparable from her body.
The clearest proof was her purple hair and green eyes.
Those were not traits a normal person should have. They were direct signs that the toxin had deeply eroded her body. It had already invaded her internal organs.
What Lin Mo needed to do now was use his precise control over qi and blood, together with the extraordinary understanding of the human body granted by his Body Martial Soul, to carefully send his own qi and blood into Dugu Yan's body through the blood needles acting as bridges.
His goal was to use that qi and blood to temporarily suppress the poison that had become restless because of the rainy weather, forcing it back into a dormant state.
Of course, this method was only an emergency measure. It could not solve the problem at its root.
To completely resolve the backlash of a toxin born from the Martial Soul itself, one had to deal directly with the Martial Soul's origin.
Speaking of which, in Lin Mo's view, aside from a dedicated healing Martial Soul like the Nine Heart Begonia, the most suitable Martial Soul for becoming a doctor was the Body Martial Soul.
Healing Martial Souls possessed overwhelmingly powerful recovery effects and could accomplish many things medicine could not.
The Body Martial Soul, on the other hand, had an unmatched advantage when it came to sensing and understanding the mysteries of the human body.
Not long after, Lin Mo flicked his hand and dispersed the final blood needle lodged in Dugu Yan's body.
Dugu Yan, who had been slumped in Ye Lingling's arms, let out a low groan. Then she actually pushed herself up with her own hands and slowly stood, albeit unsteadily.
She moved her body in disbelief, only to find that the agonizing pain that had made her wish for death moments ago had really disappeared.
She raised her head and looked at Lin Mo, her face full of shock.
In a situation where even a top tier healing Martial Soul like the Nine Heart Begonia had been powerless, Lin Mo had actually succeeded?
Although she could clearly feel that what Lin Mo had done was similar to the way her grandfather usually suppressed the pain for her, temporary and not fundamental.
And in terms of effect, it was clearly far inferior to what her grandfather could achieve.
After all, Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo, and his Martial Soul shared the same origin as hers, which was why his suppression was so effective.
But Lin Mo's spirit power was lower than hers, and his Martial Soul had nothing to do with the Jade Phosphor Serpent.
Under such circumstances, the fact that he could achieve anything at all was already unbelievable in Dugu Yan's eyes.
Dugu Yan looked at Lin Mo, her face still pale from weakness, her expression complicated.
She pressed her lips together, then finally spoke. Her voice was weak, but clear.
"Lin Mo... thank you."
She rarely thanked anyone like this, especially someone her own age.
Lin Mo did not stand on ceremony. He simply nodded and accepted her thanks.
Before he and Ye Lingling turned to leave, he hesitated for a moment, then stopped and looked back at Dugu Yan with a serious expression.
"The root of the problem in your body lies in the toxin carried by your Martial Soul itself."
"As a Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit Master, you should know toxins better than most people. How could you let yourself reach such a severe stage of toxin backlash?"
His eyes still carried the same sympathy and pity Dugu Yan had noticed before.
But this time, perhaps because he had just helped her, Dugu Yan found that gaze far less unbearable.
Lin Mo continued, "If possible, you should find a way to control it."
"Otherwise, if your body continues to suffer long term toxin erosion, the suppressed poison will one day erupt completely. And when that day comes..."
After saying this much, Lin Mo did not stay any longer.
He pulled along the still dazed Ye Lingling and quickly walked toward the Mimicry Cultivation Area where Charmander was training.
However, his steps were noticeably lighter than before, and his face was slightly paler as well.
Using blood needles to help Dugu Yan suppress the toxins in her body had truly cost him a great deal of qi and blood.
Dugu Yan stood there alone in a daze as the rain dampened her hair and clothes, but she seemed completely unaware of it.
Lin Mo's final words were like a bolt of lightning striking straight into her mind.
She thought of her parents, who had died long ago.
She thought of how excessively doting and overprotective her grandfather had always been.
All the details she had once racked her brain trying to understand suddenly had an answer.
